  • The Three Peaks – Peaked!

    So then – the Three Peaks Girls did it!! Nailed all three mountains, Ben Nevis, Scarfell and Snowdon, and all the schlepping between them in a mere 23 hours and 32 minutes, well within the 24 hour target.  It's been a whirlwind 4 days… Thursday Spent a wild 12 hours on the very long trog…

    And looks like I was right to be vaguely optimistic – score was same as the last one, 3 – which is as good as it was ever likely to get. Hurrah, marv, bloody good news – now can have a ball away with the Three Peaks girls this weekend and then in Miami and…

  • Birds Boat Weekend

    So then, just back from a weekend on the boat – and yes, one where the sun did actually shine and we did actually sail! Almost a first, given how pissy the weather's been so far this year – and in this case, also a massive wind-fest (yes outdoors, not just human-generated for once). Swight…
